Thanks guys, I am going to miss the vine.. it actually has been a good wind block and insulation with a lot of birds living in it ( mostly winged rats as Joe calls the sparrrows) We havn't used the side door over there for over 20 years, so it will be nice to use it. We are going to have the house painted, caulked and sided this fall. It will be different not having that Ivy there.
Sure would love some of your spotted leaf ginger, Elaine, Have some cool named brugs ready to send to a few of you here.. can't wait to leave,Sister is ready for me to go get her, waiting until Joe gets back from store, tho. Going to go out and water before I leave, no rain in three weeks, trying to keep things green until Sister gets here. I can't wait for her to sit on the patio with me and watch the hummers dip around.
florida, we will ne working on your box of goodies too! YAY! I have to have all stuff in and out and sent and all that stuff by October 15th. That is my deadline I set for myself. took a tour this am to see what needs to come out of the ground, not as much as I thought since I already potted up and brought in so much already. Son will be over to help us.. he is just a darling man, I wish he would find a nice girl that likes to garden like he does. *sigh*
Asters are all blooming now..so are the cosmos
